When it is done. A `dump` folder is created in the current directory. The structure of the dump folder is listed below.
```text
dump
├── dev
│ ├── norm
│ └── raw
├── phone_id_map.txt
├── speaker_id_map.txt
├── test
│ ├── norm
│ └── raw
└── train
├── norm
├── raw
└── speech_stats.npy
```
The dataset is split into 3 parts, namely `train`, `dev` and` test`, each of which contains a `norm` and `raw` sub folder. The raw folder contains speech feature of each utterances, while the norm folder contains normalized ones. The statistics used to normalize features are computed from the training set, which is located in `dump/train/speech_stats.npy`.
Also there is a `metadata.jsonl` in each subfolder. It is a table-like file which contains phones, text_lengths, speech_lengths, path of speech features, speaker and id of each utterance.
Train a TransformerTTS model with LJSpeech TTS dataset.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--config CONFIG config file to overwrite default config.
--train-metadata TRAIN_METADATA
training data.
--dev-metadata DEV_METADATA
dev data.
--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR
output dir.
--device DEVICE device type to use.
--nprocs NPROCS number of processes.
--verbose VERBOSE verbose.
--phones-dict PHONES_DICT
phone vocabulary file.
```
1.`--config` is a config file in yaml format to overwrite the default config, which can be found at `conf/default.yaml`.
2.`--train-metadata` and `--dev-metadata` should be the metadata file in the normalized subfolder of `train` and `dev` in the `dump` folder.
3.`--output-dir` is the directory to save the results of the experiment. Checkpoints are save in `checkpoints/` inside this directory.
4.`--device` is the type of the device to run the experiment, 'cpu' or 'gpu' are supported.
5.`--nprocs` is the number of processes to run in parallel, note that nprocs > 1 is only supported when `--device` is 'gpu'.
6.`--phones-dict` is the path of the phone vocabulary file.
## Synthesize
We use [waveflow](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Parakeet/tree/develop/examples/waveflow) as the neural vocoder.
Download Pretrained WaveFlow Model with residual channel equals 128 from [waveflow_ljspeech_ckpt_0.3.zip](https://paddlespeech.bj.bcebos.com/Parakeet/waveflow_ljspeech_ckpt_0.3.zip) and unzip it.
```bash
unzip waveflow_ljspeech_ckpt_0.3.zip
```
WaveFlow checkpoint contains files listed below.
```text
waveflow_ljspeech_ckpt_0.3
├── config.yaml # default config used to train waveflow
└── step-2000000.pdparams # model parameters of waveflow
--text TEXT text to synthesize, a 'utt_id sentence' pair per line.
--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR
output dir.
--device DEVICE device type to use.
--verbose VERBOSE verbose.
```
1.`--transformer-tts-config`, `--transformer-tts-checkpoint`, `--transformer-tts-stat` and `--phones-dict` are arguments for transformer_tts, which correspond to the 4 files in the transformer_tts pretrained model.
2.`--waveflow-config`, `--waveflow-checkpoint` are arguments for waveflow, which correspond to the 2 files in the waveflow pretrained model.
3.`--test-metadata` should be the metadata file in the normalized subfolder of `test` in the `dump` folder.
4.`--text` is the text file, which contains sentences to synthesize.
5.`--output-dir` is the directory to save synthesized audio files.
6.`--device` is the type of device to run synthesis, 'cpu' and 'gpu' are supported. 'gpu' is recommended for faster synthesis.
